The latest information suggests that the new album, Gilbertville will be released in Japan in October. Gilbert is currently in negotiations with a record company with a view to getting a European release for the album. Depending how negotiations go, the European release may be in October or failing that early in the New Year. Gilbert is frustrated by the delay in getting the album released but is acutely aware that the right record deal could also see his back catalogue available for download online. The live album recorded at the Olympia Theatre in Oct 2008 is still in the mixing stage. Once the mixing of the soundtrack is completed it will be added to the concert footage and a DVD will be released. Gilbert will be attending the Guth Gafa Documentary Festival in Gortahork, County Donegal on the 12th June where he will take part in a Question And Answer session after the screening of the documentary Out On His Own.

Some photographs from Gilbert's appearance on The Late Late Show. Click here....
Gilbert made a very popular and successful return to the RTE Television studios last night for his appearance on The Late Late Show, hosted by Ryan Tubridy. Gilbert was originally scheduled to sing two songs, one old and one new, but such was the public reaction to news of his appearance, that the sheer volume of telephone calls, texts and emails to the Late Late Show office resulted in host Ryan Tubridy requesting that Gilbert sing a third song. Accompanied on guitar by Jimmy Smyth, Gilbert sang All They Wanted To Say, a track fom his forthcoming album and followed that with the two classics; Nothing Rhymed and Alone Again (Naturally) and even managed to squeeze in a verse of Ooh Wakka Doo Wakka Day, which the audience sang along to. Also appearing on the Late Late show were Irish singer, Mary Coughlan and Scottish singer Eddi Reader. They both stopped by Gilbert's dressing room to say hello. Mary is very interested in recording one of Gilbert's songs; At The Very Mention Of Your Name. To see Gilbert on the Late Late Show......Click here....

Still no news about any live U.S. dates but efforts are ongoing. As I've mentioned before, it is up to the promoters as to where and when Gilbert will play in the USA, but Gilbert is very keen for it to happen. Two dates have been pencilled in but not confirmed for Ireland in November: Killarney [Nov 6] and Castlebar [Nov 7].
